GENERAL INFORMATION Description: Repels mosquitoes and ticks. Mosquito Barrier is a concentrated garlic juice solution that is sprayed on plants, shrubs, and turf to repel mosquitoes and ticks. Odourless in hours. How it works: Mosquitoes and ticks are repelled by the odor of Mosquito Barrier almost immediately after spraying.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Shake well before using. Mix Mosquito Barrier in water at the rate of 30 mL/L. If mosquitoes and ticks are already present, it may be beneficial to double the amount of Mosquito Barrier per liter of water. To aid mixing and spreading of the spray solution, especially if you have hard water, up to 10 mL of mild liquid soap (do not use detergent) per liter of water may be added. If a sticker is desired to aid retention of the product on the plants, up to 20 mL of vegetable oil (canola or corn oil; do not use soybean or peanut oil) with up to 10 mL of mild liquid soap per liter of water may be added. If adding soap or vegetable oil and soap, mix well with undiluted Mosquito Barrier, then dilute the mixture in water and stir well. No danger to plants is expected if label directions are followed, but test on a small area if in doubt about the sensitivity of a particular plant. For best results spray in early morning or early evening. Avoid spraying in the heat of the day. Spray all foliage with a small spray droplet size until run-off. Use in areas that attract mosquitoes and ticks such as grass, plants, shrubs and under wood piles, decks and porches. Reapply after heavy rain or if mosquitoes and ticks continue to be a problem. Spraying for tick nymphs should start in late spring or early summer.
